"There's Hope"

The days keep getting shorter and the nights keep getting longer
We have a motive but we fear our own desire
I know its time to fight, only fear holds us back

But what you don't know, well I'll just tell you
The real tragedy of life is not a child who is afraid of the dark
No, not the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light

If you're afraid to love back
You are much more scared to face me in the light
Much harder to give in to your mistakes
You're wining and dining on some rainy evening

In another world
Just come with me baby and just find some escape tonight
Before you becomes everything he knew that he was losing
Maybe cause he's scared of losing what we already had

Sometimes fear consumes us
Beautifully convincing thems
It's how many of us operate, even if it's not true
That if you let go, you're going to fall

I want to be better than that
I want to live and be free from fear and my heart wants to win
You should see my eyes they're coming back alive
All them fools tryna ruin it; I'm trying to make this right.

I'd love more nice art on this platform! Not saying blogs aren't technically art, but... well... there's clearly more effort put into one than the other ;)
